RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Album Review

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’s self-titled debut injected some much-needed angst & social awareness into metal in the early 90’s with their own unique brand of vitriolic, sonic vengeance aimed at the corrupt power elite responsible for negatively impacting sociopolitical and corporate landscapes the world over with complete impunity.

With powerfully simplistic riffing, a revolutionary lyrical message, and six-string pyrotechnics which transformed the guitar into a new way to DJ, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE managed to ear worm their way into the collective consciousness of the early 90’s metal scene, making it fun to embrace our own inner angst and revolt in protest against a broken, unjust, and backwards system hellbent on greed, power, and totalitarian control in the most radically metal way possible.

It’s time to uncover yet another one of the myriad of reasons why we (still) have no female callers (because “Sharon is Karen”). Go ahead and get “Axel” on the horn to understand what “Star Wars and The 2 Live Crew” have in common as you learn the name of that instrument they play in the Outback as well as the better, new term for “jowls”. Go ahead and fly that flag upside down, get ready to “listen to ‘The Message’” and JOIN US for a dive into the debut album that fired the first shot in the heavy metal insurrection to “take the power back” as we RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.
